== Durability and repair-ability  ==
The mediocre plastic quality means of certain top parts of the chassis means that cracks of internal plastic screw stands are common, making disassembly and assembly operations quite difficult, with screws that are difficult to remove or tighten. Access to the hard-drive is straightforward, requiring only a single unscrew. Unfortunately, the LCD screen lamp is mounted vertically and it is very difficult to replace, requiring a full disassembly of the display. This means that you rarely can repair a screen without damaging or affecting something else with dust or slight manipulation mistakes. The rubberized coating that flakes over time is one of the most annoying feature of the laptop, as the smell, dirt and stickiness of its gets worse as the laptop aged. It can be cleaned with careful wiping using a smooth sponge and mild concentration iso-propyl alcohol or another alcohol solution. None of this problems were solved on the 600X models.
The laptop's case has reasonable plastic quality, although the display's unit construction is prone to cracks due to the poor hinges and a lack of continuous metal frame around the LCD screen. Access to the hard-drive is straightforward, requiring only a single unscrew to pull out the hard-drive tray. Access to the RAM, cooling, CPU is quite simple as only two top screws and a cover to be taken out that secure the keyboard. The cooling system is quite adequate for the designed CPU and can be easily upgraded on the 900B model, suggesting good durability.
